      Bowhunting teaches patience, focus, and respect for nature. It helps kids connect with the outdoors, learn where food comes from, and develop responsibility through safe, ethical hunting practices. Unlike firearms, bows are quieter and require skill, encouraging discipline and physical activity. Learning bowhunting builds confidence and strengthens family bonds when practiced together. It’s not just about hunting—it’s about understanding wildlife, conservation, and becoming more self-reliant in a digital world.
      You probably never learned how to fish, clean fish, and cook it. I learned how to pluck chickens from my grandparents. This is a life skill, and children being outdoors and learning about wildlife and nature, versus on digital devices, is in their best interest. I am sure the federation can answer your queries if you just ask them.

    You sound like a commercial. HOGWASH. Many animal lovers believe that teaching children to hunt promotes violence and disrespects life. From an ethical standpoint, we should foster values of kindness, empathy, and stewardship toward all living creatures. Meat consumption can be balanced with respect for animals and the environment, but actively teaching children to hunt can send the wrong message about our relationship with wildlife. Instead, we can encourage outdoor activities that promote appreciation and conservation without causing harm. Where is the humane society to speak out on this?
    And don't try and stray from the topic at hand. Do you see any outrage when the fishermen by the roadside selling fish? It is obvious you, whomever you may be, have a part to play in the federation, after the eloquent explanation of this federation. So, let me ask you this. Is killing animals with a bow and arrow the only archery sport that can teach responsibility for wildlife?
